i was faced same problem last day, i didnt know what is the solution to solve this, but i know that i have tried to install resin on my server and one of plesk confuration file was stop responding. this was cause for PLESK stps reponding, controlpannel service was stoped,

Have found that this problem only occurs if the Windows 2003 Server is a domain controller and or has active directory installed bieng a domain controller. Plesk DNS services and other misc services do not play well with the new technologies of Windows Active Directory Services. However if you have a linux box. the installs and services run pretty much flawlessly. Advice. Remove active directory and only have as a stand alone workstation. Plesk does like that configuration. as well it sais in the plesk installation manual .. FRESH INSTALL windows 2003. No special Mods.
